University Hospital seeks volunteers of all ages

University Hospital has volunteer opportunities available in a number of areas of hospital operations and patient care areas.

“We need volunteers to serve in a variety of settings within University Hospital, including pediatrics, the emergency and recovery rooms, food and nutritional services, the Gift Shop, errand and messenger service, as well as with the heart, oncology and transplant programs,” said Andrea Kennedy-Tull of Volunteer Service. Off-site locations at University Health Care Center in downtown Syracuse and University Health Care Manlius are also interested in volunteer help, she said.

To volunteer, individuals must be 14 years of age or older, provide their own transportation and commit to a minimum of four hours of volunteer service per week. Hours may be arranged to accommodate many schedules. Free parking, meal privileges and other benefits may be available to those who qualify.
